What's interesting about going to road trip from Melbourne?

Melbourne is the administrative center of Victoria, Australia and one of the most prosperous cities in Australia's music industry. The Great Ocean Road in Melbourne was built to commemorate the soldiers of World War I.. This is one of the most beautiful roads in the world. This time, let's go to road trip, the most beautiful highway.

A friend went to Dayang Road with the group. After returning home, he complained to me that he spent four hours by car and only 50 minutes among the twelve disciples. There are only four words in my heart: "Waste the sky." As one of the most beautiful roads in the world, Dayang Road, I have been there about six or seven times, and I can meet different scenery every time, which is very boring.

Other practical information about this line is at the end.

The route of Dayang Road can be dedicated in one day 12 disciple Naka. If you want to swim deeply, it may take a month or more. You can stay in a bay for three or four days, or you can drive from Melbourne to Adelaide in South Australia along Ocean Road, so the itinerary is quite flexible. Of course, it is best to travel by car or chartered car. If you are traveling in a group, we strongly recommend that you choose a 2-day tour. A day trip is really too fast. I will plan a trip for you according to the schedule of 1-3 days.

One-day tour: You can leave Melbourne early in the morning, along the coastline of Dayang Road, go to the Twelve Disciples via Ji Lang, and then return to Melbourne from A 1 Expressway.

Two-day tour: you can play Geelong first, then take A 1 directly to Campbell, live in Campbell, play around the twelve disciples and watch the sunset. The next day, I took the ocean road from Campbell to Melbourne.

Three-day tour: take a ferry from Mornington Peninsula to Dayang Road, stay in Mornington Peninsula for one night, then stay in the middle of Dayang Road for one night, and stay in Port Campbell, the twelve disciples, and slowly feel the beauty of Dayang Road.

Three days to a few days: the itinerary can be more casual. You can drive to Adelaide and start your trip to South Australia.

This article is my favorite tour route, which is rich in content and recommended to everyone. Depart from Melbourne (a), pass through Mornington Peninsula (b), cross the sea by boat to C, complete the coastal tour of Dayang Road, then go from A 1 to Geelong G and return to Melbourne.

The famous Dayang Road is a coastal highway, from Toki Torquay-Loen-Apollo Bay, Apollo Bay-Campbell Port-Vanambur, Vanambur-Fairy Port, as shown below.

One-day trip to Mornington Peninsula-Mornington Peninsula, the back garden of Melbourne.

Mornington Peninsula is about an hour's drive from downtown Melbourne. It is called the back garden of Melbourne, surrounded by the sea on three sides. The famous scenic spots on the peninsula include IELTS Labyrinth Lavender Garden, Peninsula Hot Springs and Schenk Point Lighthouse. If you want to visit all the above scenic spots, it will take a day.

Brighton beach

From Melbourne to Mornington Peninsula, Brighton Beach can be reached by driving along the coastal road of St Kilda for more than ten minutes. There are many colorful cabins here. These cabins, called "bath boxes", are private spaces for their owners to spend their holidays by the sea. Mainly used to put surfboards, fishing rods, canoes and other things to play with water, of course, there are also functions of changing swimsuits and changing rooms.

Mornington Peninsula National Park

Because I drove the wrong way, I went into Peninsula National Park by mistake. There are several places in the park where I can have a panoramic view of Mornington Peninsula.

mornington peninsula

The Mornington Peninsula hot spring built on the mountain is completely original, and the hot spring pool at the top overlooks the whole Mornington Peninsula. If you come to Australia in spring, summer, autumn and winter, it will be very comfortable to soak in hot springs here. It is inconvenient to take a camera in the hot spring. I took two photos with my mobile phone. More pictures and details can be seen from official website. Official website address:/

At sunset, there are many people in Tangchi on the top floor.

Mobile phones shoot the pure sky.

Shenpromontory lighthouse reserve

The lighthouse is a well-known place in the dark.

It's like crossing a dreamy scene in a movie.

Swaying in the sun

This is a good place to shoot the starry sky, because this travel book is a collection of the last two ocean roads, so I take it with me in winter and summer. Don't be surprised.

No.2 Dayang Road, Chicheng

Ferry trip

In the morning, we arrived at sorrento Port in Mornington Peninsula. This is our ferry. take

You can buy tickets in advance by checking the time and price on the website. au/； Of course, it is not the peak season of Christmas Eve. Just go to the window to buy tickets. When you arrive at the port, you can queue up in the car to buy tickets, drive on the boat, and then park your car in the cabin and you can go.

Sailing for about 40 minutes, the deck is windy. Go back to the cabin for a cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Philip Bay.

Haiyang road

When we arrived at Queen's Cliff, there were signs of Ocean Road along the way. The scenery on the ocean road is very different between sunny and cloudy days. It is recommended that you avoid driving along Dayang Road from June to September every year. It's winter in Melbourne, and when it rains, the scenery will be greatly reduced.

Dayang Road is full of scenery. Don't rush to the twelve disciples, enjoy the feast along the way. This beach hasn't reached the beginning of Dayang Road yet. There is a crossroads about 100 meters. You have to walk to the end of the whole beach to see it. It is not recommended that you look for it specifically. The scenery of Dayang Road is infinite. Maybe you can meet your own scenery inadvertently.

Toki

Torquay, the starting point of the ocean, is a famous surfing town. Although dark clouds are gathering at this time, they are still clearly visible in the distance. Seeing the blue sky is hope.

Split point lighthouse

On the way from Torquay to Loen, Loen, you will pass the Split Lighthouse. Little Red Riding Hood is very cute, and it is a must-see attraction on Dayang Road.

Agrarock

The lighthouse overlooks the "Eagle Mouth Rock"

Panorama of Eagle Mouth Rock. Living here is really "facing the sea and warming bloom in spring"

Loen

Leave the lighthouse for Loen. This is a quiet town, surrounded by mountains and seas. Many Australians come here for their holidays and stay for a week.

I think there is someone in everyone's heart. I hope I can hold hands and watch the sea quietly when I am old.

Lunch can be settled in Loen. There is nothing special to recommend, so I chose one. I really can't live without the internet anytime, anywhere. I accidentally bumped into a mirror while roaming Superman's mobile WIFI. When eating, you need a mobile phone to eat, just eat it in your mouth.

What I want to recommend is driving out of a scenic spot not far from the town, a meadow by the road. Finally, you can see this open landscape, which is quite shocking.

Cape Barton, keep moving. I remember it was called Cape Barton. This is a scenic spot overlooking the endless coastline.

Cape Oatway Lighthouse

Through Loen, it is Apollo Bay. I didn't stay here for long, and then I entered the Great Oatway National Park. After driving out of Apollo Bay, I saw the sign of Cape Oatway turned into Oatway Lighthouse Road. You can find koalas on the road.

Moving on is the Cape Oatway Lighthouse, which is the oldest existing lighthouse in the Australian mainland. The light on the lighthouse has been on since 1848, which is the first light that countless European immigrants saw after leaving Europe.

Next to it is a small tropical rainforest. Grandpa, the trees are intertwined, as if entering the world of the Wizard of Oz.

Next is the virgin forest. The oily light and shadow attracted us to stop and take pictures.

Shierbeiyan

I lived in Port Campbell on Ocean Road twice, close to the twelve disciples. If I leave Melbourne in the morning and play all the way, it's usually three or four in the afternoon when I get to Campbell. Of course, everyone spends different time on the road. Half of the sunset time is five in winter and eight in summer. If you want to see the sunset in The Twelve Disciples, you must plan the time. Disciples can take a helicopter to overlook the ocean road here. There are two kinds of helicopters, the red one is for 8 people and the yellow one is for 4 people. The price of four people is higher than that of eight people, and the person sitting in the middle with eight people has a bad view. I was lucky to get a window seat.

From God's point of view, nature's masterpieces are shocking. For thousands of years, the turbulent waves have constantly impacted and eroded the coastline.

The Twelve Disciples is a faded masterpiece. Over the years, the waves hit the limestone cliffs on the shore, forming caves and stone arches and collapsing into these different shapes of stone pillars. They have been eroded, and every moment we see now is history.

The twelve disciples who took off their veils in the morning, the pile of rubble below is the collapsed rock.

Disciple 12, the signal here is not very good. This time, I used roaming Superman's overseas WIFI, 6000 mAh, which can last 15 hours. Internet addiction girls like me are simply standard. It is such a great effort to make it appear in landmark attractions, and it is a thank you for its companionship along the way.

Two survivors, here called two survivors, are to commemorate the two survivors in the shipwreck.

Gibson stone steps

GIBSON STEP is next to the twelve disciples, and it takes about five minutes to drive to Melbourne. At sunset, it's really charming.

3 days misty rain princess harbor

Port Campbell

Today, I drove from Campbell Port to Princess Port, completed the journey of Dayang Road, and then returned to Melbourne from A 1. The weather in Australia has been gloomy all morning. It takes about five minutes to drive from Port Campbell to London Bridge. London Bridge used to be connected, but it collapsed at 1990 due to the continuous erosion of sea erosion and wind erosion, and now it is a broken bridge.

London Bridge

Nanpur

Say goodbye to London Bridge and move on, because it rained heavily when I arrived in Vannablus, so I didn't stay long. I was going to go home, but later I thought Fairy Harbor was not too far away, so I wanted to see it. After more than 20 minutes, the rain weakened, giving us a chance to enjoy this quiet town. This small town built in19th century gave me a surprise. Its architecture is retro, the sea is boundless and the harbor is quiet. Even if it shows only one tenth of the beauty in rainy days, it still makes people want to stay.

It's like the chapel in Miyazaki Hayao's cartoon. Surprisingly, the world suddenly became quiet from the noise of yesterday.

Xiannvgang

The weather in Fairy Harbor is not very good this time. I hope it will be sunny next time.

Ji Lang

Leave Fairy Harbor and return to Melbourne along A 1 expressway. You can visit Victoria's second largest city through Geelong.

Geelong is a city, but it feels more like a small town. It's already sunset here, take a walk by the sea, and end the journey of Dayang Road with the sunset.

Self-driving online car rental booking practical information:

After you have prepared your visa or bought a plane ticket, you can start renting a car online. Avis and Hertz, the big car rental companies in Australia, as well as Thrifty and Europcar. Now I prefer to rent a car online. The Chinese interface is very convenient.

About the choice of pick-up place:

Melbourne has two airports, one is TULLAMARINE and the other is AVALON Airport. There must be no mistakes when choosing the pick-up place. Avalon Airport is mainly an Australian domestic flight. If you go to Melbourne from other cities, you can choose this airport, which is closer to Dayang Road. Besides, Dayang Road has been completed. If you want to go sightseeing in Melbourne, you'd better return the car in the city, because the parking lot in Melbourne is very expensive and there are frequent traffic jams, which makes it inconvenient for tourists to drive.

Maps and navigation:

Now all mobile phones have their own map function. Navigation is convenient. Don't worry. However, there is no signal on a section of ocean road, so it is more convenient to download the map to your mobile phone in advance. In some parts of the ocean, the cell phone signal is not good. This time, we brought roaming Superman mobile phone WIFI and 4G network, which can meet the traffic demand of many mobile phones. I especially don't like to bring a charging treasure when I go out. It can also be used as a charging treasure. This 2IN 1 configuration is really convenient. The cost is tens of dollars a day, and the whole journey of 500m 4G traffic is enough. I suggest you choose roaming Superman mobile phone wifi, which will be more convenient than changing calling cards.

Introduction to road conditions:

Melbourne's rush hour is still relatively congested, so there will be no traffic jams when you leave the city. There are two roads out of the city, M 1 and A 1. Follow the GPS. B 100 is a coastal ocean road with a speed limit of 60-80. Although it is two lanes, the road conditions are good. Some corners have speed limit signs, so pay attention to slow down. Some roads in Melbourne are free, but they can be avoided by GPS settings. There is no need to take a toll road for the whole Ocean Road. There is no manual charge for roads, and all of them are managed by electronic eyes. If the car rental company will deduct it from the credit card, it is generally more than 10 Australian dollars. Australia has a heavy fine for speeding, so everyone must pay attention to speed.

On traffic rules

1. When driving in two-way lanes in Australia, you need to drive on the left. When there are multiple lanes, the first lane on the right is the overtaking lane. At first, it was easy to drive, and the turn signal became a wiper.

2. Driving a secondary lane car in Australia must be for the main lane car. If you want to turn out of the alley, you have to wait until the straight road is over. Turn right first when you meet the roundabout. Let all vehicles entering the roundabout on your right pass first, and then you go.

Australians generally don't honk when driving. If honking the horn is not swearing, it is to remind you that there may be an accident ahead, traffic police speed measurement and so on.

Fill the tank.

There is no manual service at gas stations in Australia. You can bring your own air gun, put it away and click Add directly. After adding the optimistic parking space number, you can pay in the supermarket at the gas station yourself.
